David Marquez has confirmed reports that he was indeed in talks with The CW for the United Wrestling Network.
As we previously reported here on eWn, Marquez’s UWN had been in talks with The CW before WWE announced that NXT would be moving to the network starting in October 2024.
UWN had discussed some possible strategies with The CW before WWE came into the picture.
Marquez confirmed that report, tweeting,
“You are hearing my name on podcasts and reading my name in print. Yes it’s true, I was in long negotiations with the network and that’s all I’m going to say about it for now. Please don’t contact me for comments or guesting on your show on this subject. Thank you all for your continued support and I hope to see you out for @unitedwrestling on 12/17 in Long Beach!”
